Re: Power Supply Work

Our generator didn't go bang. Oh no. It started up a few seconds after the UPS kicked in, ran for maybe ten seconds, and then there was a big cloud of white smoke and it stopped.

Because at the last service, the shortly-to-be-sacked mechanic had run the generator, emptied it of oil, and forgotten to replace the oil.
